Rico's consistent scorecard results from the Stallions, 7 and over class,

from the esteemed judge Coronel Jose' Bobi Miguel:

Morgologia - 7.8/7.7/7.8/7.7/7.7/7.6/7.7/7.6

Movimientos - 7.7/7.6/7.5

(Note: this was the first time Rico had ever been in a dressage ring or done a dressage pattern. In addition, all presentation and showing was done by his graceless amateur owner)

2009 - THE AMERICAN ROYAL HORSE SHOW, Kansas City, MO

This was a local open show with over 800 entries, 95% quarter horses

and Rico was the only Andalusian there!

1st place - Open non-stock halter

5th place - Western Pleasure Open, non-stock type

We had loads of fun at this show and made friends with the Budweiser crew as they were stabled across from us. Here's some photos of Rico with his new pals from Anheuser Busch and their Dalmation "Bud"
